Spice Market Café @ Shangri-La's Rasa Sayang Resort and Spa, Penang

Spice Market Café @ Shangri-La's Rasa Sayang Resort and Spa

The Spice Market Café is an informal buffet-style restaurant that offers authentic cuisines from diverse cultures that reflect Penang's heritage as a cultural crossroads: Chinese, Indian, Nyonya-Baba, Japanese, Thai, Western and international. The café is right beside the unique free-form swimming pools, under a canopy of century-old rain trees that echo with the delightful sounds of chirping tropical birds.

At the entrance to the café you'll find the Spice Boutique, where you can learn about and purchase some of the most exotic spices in Asia. The boutique features over 100 varieties of dried herbs and spices, with varieties of curry powders and other ingredients for you to take home.

Once walk in the dinner hall, you can feel the warmness and friendly greet by the waitress and lead to your allocated table. I can feel that they have put a lot effort on their decoration and setting to make all the diner have a great dine in their restaurant, as dine at home.



You may choose to dine indoor or outdoor where place are more eco-friendly. Sometimes, there are birds surrounding you while you have a meal. Such a great! Remind: Guest to be advise not to feed the bird. ^^
